Assuming the tracklist posted elsewhere is the correct one.
We've probably all made our own FB compilations, to convert our friends, families, or just for personal listening. So, does yours beat the official FB best of? I think mine does. 
Here's the track listing,
1. Places Named After Numbers
2. Solid Gold
3. Men in Black
4. If Your Poison Gets You
5. All My Ghosts
6. Superabound
7. Billy Radcliffe
8. Czar
9. Fast Man
10. Steak N' Sabre
11. Pan American Highway
12. Living on Soul
13. You're Such A Wire
14. Massif Centrale
15. I Will Run After You
16. Elijah
17. Freedom Rock
18. I Burn Today
19. If It Takes All Night
20. Calistan
21. Sister Isabel
22. Manitoba |

Now we're talking. I understand why b-sides were left off the officialish list but your list proves Frank Black b-sides are a must for any "best of".
Mine would be better, too.

you left most of BLD and DITS off as well. that's where I'd pick most of mine. I'd say a quarter of what you picked might stay on mine 
I'll have to get back to y'all with a list though |

Yes, mine would be better (obviously just a matter of opinion), although it wouldn't be too different to that of the original poster.

Not only is mine better, but I don't even see the point of the official "best of". I don't think the choices on there are really going to turn any new people on to Frank Black, and everyone that already loves his music has all those songs already, so why would fans buy it? Just who is it for? I guess we'll have to wait and see what's on the second disc to see if it's worth buying.
Did anyone buy the last "Best of Pixies" comp? I guess if you are a completeist and wanted a version of "Hey" without the "Hey" on it maybe....at least "Death To The Pixies" had the live CD on it.

I bought the Best Of Pixies, that was what got me into the Pixies. Maybe the same could work for people who get the FB best of.
I think anyone who is already a fan will be buying for the second disc, I hope it has some good stuff on it.

Hmm, OK.
Maybe it'll work - who knows? It's been discussed before how most of us would make different "primers" of FB music based on the person we were trying to convert since he has so many different styles. For me, if I were coming in blind, I don't think this official comp would do much for me.

Is YOUR "FB Best Of" better than the upcoming one?
